Hey everyone,

I've been tasked to build a lightweight, decoupled, front-end driven RESTful application. I'm looking for some direction on what that means, where to start, and what resources I can refer to for furthering my understand around this concept.

I've learned through various resources (much of them advocated in these courses) that you should always build your app in a progressively enhancing way, not only because it's good practice, but also because the application needs to meet accessible standards. So, naturally, the app should work without JavaScript.

So, usually my build cycle looks something like this:

1. Build a server-side script driven adaptation of app
2. Factor in the richer, more optimal, and user enhancing JavaScript features used to elevate the user experience

Now, if we are building a front-end driven application, what happens to accessibility? How can we share or bookmark URI's? How do search engines index pages? Surely, this is possible as these front-end driven application patterns / methods seem more and more common nowadays.
